A vastly underrated learning experience. Do you still use this system? Can you update this?. I am producing a hydro turbine specifically to be used in old water mills here in the UK - of which there are about 10,000. Using it to produce winter heating instead of electricity obviously allows for utility in a low tech mechanisim.

Hey Sonca? Ya dead man? Yeah man! hopefully your well just wanted to ask where you got the plans for this I bought plans for something similar that uses two drums one in the other and oil between them.

Oil piggy, do you sell this units? If u do please let me know. Thanks.

I was going to comment that a V-belt has some inefficiency to it, but then realised that the inefficiency is loss due to friction heat! That said, to reduce noise, why not mount motor and friction device in-line with a rubber coupling?

Very interesting project. Do you think built bigger could a water jacket be added with a circulation pump and used to heat a few radiators?

It's not DC my pal. Please do your math correct. It's 3 phase which means to the 2.1A times the 220 Volts you have to multiply it with the Squareroot of 3 which equals 2.1 x 220 x sqrt (3) =800.20 Watt

I’m not going into the business , but I do have one set for sale, 16 disks.

Holding 365 degrees is impressive ;-)

this is a loud system for a home. this is never discussed. i would not recommend buiding this. they will not let him show you the exact system by his own word. his assembly video shows the discs rubbing, which is wrong, by HIS WORDS. this inaccurate ASSEMBLY video caused me a bunch of work and money;

not possible

He doesn’t sell kits, don’t waste your time writing. And also, do not mount the moving disk Right against the stationary, as he shows. Been there done that ! The keyway of the disks will get destroyed by the steel key, if you do otherwise !. You have to make a large bushing to raise the first moving disk, supported by the bearing. All disks must be very accurately spaced with equal distance on a very tight tolerance, to do well. This is a hard task to build one!

Can it cost a dollar a day? How much electricity does it use per day? Friction resistance takes power.

How is it that you need such a big one horse motor, and can get away with turning it so slow.? The plans I see advise to use a 3200 rpm motor, the painting can design. With the aluminum flashing on the outside canister, and 1/8;top and bottom., with holes tapped in the sides of the disks, for tapping and mounting the flashing.

15 watts on motor... seems efficient

840 watts... does not seem efficient..???

Is it possible to design one for ironing clothes, for example, and can it work even without electricity, even if that is in the future?

I know this is a pretty old video, but you should run the math and experiment more. I wish I had the machine closer to me to test it more . Buy correct me if I am wrong, you said that the friction heater motor uses about 400W of Power ( equals 400W of power consumed in 1H of running, that means that you're using 400W/60min = 6.66W of Power to run that thing 1 minute long.). You're heating 8 Cups of water = 1.9Liters of water in 8 minutes from ~30c to 39c = 9C difference. So 8minutes * 6.66W of Power = 53.28W of Power used to raise the temperature of 1.9L water by 9c. Further you're using 53.28W/9c = 5.92W of Power to Heat 1.9L water by 1c...that means to get the water to a boiling point of 100c you ( 100*5.92W = 592W of Power. I just runned a simple test of my electric heater for coffe.. it uses 1.8kW of Power 1800W / 60 min = 30W of Power per Minute. In 1 minute it heated 1.9L of water from 18c to 31c. ( 13c difference here) . so from 0c to 13c = 30W. ( 30W/13c = 2.3W of Power for a raise of 1c) it would use 2.3W * 100c = 230W to heat from 0c to 100c., yours 592W. By this we came to realize that a electric heater is heating more efficiently then this friction heater. The specific heat of water is 4190 J/(kg*°C). It means that it takes 4190 Joules to heat 1 kg of water by 1°C. Now. I am not sure if your friction heating is starting to heat water faster as time passes. but math should be made and every action of Power consumption should be considered. Please someone correct me

A black man named Charles Baker invented the friction heater in the early 1900s. Is this different?

Hello, we are now in 2022, you still use this friction heater in your home? Greeting

could you add some s-n-s-n magnets to the rotator, this would heat the metal with induction

Hello. I really like your videos. I see that you haven’t uploaded any content in a number of years. I sent you an email. Are you still monitoring this channel? Hope all is well.

How long takes to heat the house and you circulate the oil with a pump . What is the RPM on the oil pot!!

maybe you could heat water to power a steam engine or 2 to power a generator or 2 and radiate heat using radiators

👍

hi, i wanted to say that this is a good invention from charles Baker that can be adapted for green thermal energy with a VAWT vertical axis wind turbine to move the disk, and also salt as friction material against metal, using molten salt as PCM phase change material for latent heat source or heat storage. also you can improve insulation. this technology probably will be used in the near future.

I remember watching on the news in New England a guy inventor In the late 70s Was making these and selling them. He was using washer machine drums and the units were fairly large in a cabinet and the fan was built into them. It was billed on tv as the next big thing...then nothing he disappears.

Smart design and beautiful made, thank you for sharing. Is it possible to make a follow up video?

Do you provide plans for your latest design?

Simple physics not any more efficient than an electric heater with a fan

Do you mark the rings on the plus size of the tolerance of the eternal rings ??? Thanks

How much would it cost to make a heater twice as big as the one shown ??? I am interested Oilpiggy in a kit ??? Thanks

The everlast welder is a weak machine. When you want to sell the dime machine you see them all over the place for sale not selling. Just saying fella from my experience. Peace

Can you say "SIMON THE PIEMAN"?? Could not resist that fella. Peace

How are you attaching the heatsinks ???

What kind of oil are you going to use and how long does it least before you need to change the oil ??? Thanks

What are the clearances between the disks Sir ?? Thanks

Will a one H.P handle the unit well ??? How are you going to use capacitors for more efficiency ???

Why not make this from copper metal ??? How much heat do you get from this in an hour??? Thanks

How much more efficient is this as compared to a electric space heater ??? Thanks

When you enclose the whole thing there will be way less noise. Then you can direct the heat.

Nonsense.

Hi! I am very interested in your plans of this heater as i would start to build up one. I have sent an email.. valentin.claudiu.luca@gmail.com

So you don't use oil ?

the simple version is a ac motor spun without cooling. it does the same, just need to be preheated to work faster. you just use a smaller ac motor to turn a bigger one without the fan and the bigger ac motor will behave like a mechanical heater.

leave a air gap between the stationary disc and the rotor disc and the hater will work better and put out more heat and use less machanical force. what happens is that the air friciton between the discs will turn into hot plasma that will self reinforce but the mechanical input become almost zero because the amount of friciton resistance does not increase proportionally to the increase of temperature.

try just to run a car engine by craking the rotor long enough with the use of a ac motor and see if the whole engine heats up to very hot? pehaps you have to preheat the egine block before atempting this.

why not make a air friciton heater that circulate oil in tubing to make a oil radiator heater?

Thanks for your afford. I have 9 disc made up and ready for install. Question? 1) How much oil did you put in? 2) How many disc did you end up with at 1800 rpm? I have 9 each. 3) How important is the Pass Through Hole for the oil? 4) Should I step down to about 1200 rpm as I have a 10 barrel? Thanks John

It might be more efficient, to build a water pump, with a cavitation rotor. But that's just my opinion.

On a really cold day, how long or should I ask, how many hours in a twenty four period did it run ???? Thanks
